School's In Session, y'all!

School starts MONDAY!

{cue the screams}

I spent this past week participating in our pre-planning activities. I organized, laminated, and labeled, labeled, LABELED everything! Here are a few shots of my fabulous first grade classroom. It's still a work in progress, so please don't judge :)

My desk

Whew! That's a lot of little chairs!

Well, I better get busy. The kiddos come tomorrow!

Favorite Beauty Buys

Here's a list of some of my favorite makeup, hair, & beauty products...

                             

Too Faced Natural Eye palette.

Great for a shimmery, natural look.

bareMinerals.

I've used this for about 8 years now & I haven't found anything I like better.

 

Maybelline Falsies mascara.
I just can't justify paying $20+ for mascara. I like the cheap stuff, I guess.

And now, to wash all the makeup off ...


Mary Kay Timewise set
I think I've blogged about this before.
ohmyword
LOVE! That's all I can say.

Mary Kay Microdermabrasion.
I am anxiously awaiting this arrival.
Now, I have not tried this on my face yet, {just a little spot on my elbow} but I've found that Mary Kay products do not disappoint.



Bless my heart, I'm just so stinkin' pale.
Who wants that?!
Not me! That's why I use this.
It doesn't smell. It doesn't streak. It isn't heavy.

                

For my thick, curly, almost always frizzy hair I use DermOrganic argan oil. However, I've been told by many that the Moroccan Oil is even better!

That's what beauty products I can't live without. How about you?!

What I'm LOViNG

Here are a few things I've been loving & obsessing over lately ...

Origami Owl

I made a necklace last week & I love it! You can customize everything.

{sorta like Pandora, but much cuter in my opinion}

Chevron. Print.

I'm obsessed with chevron print. I ordered this diaper bag for baby girl. I can't wait until it arrives!

Her hair. 

I love everything about it. The waves, the color, everything! I'd like to start doing my hair somewhat like this everyday. I'm just kind of over straight hair. My hair is curly, so why not embrace it, amIright?!

And lastly, has anyone heard the song by 2 Chainz? I think it's called "Kesha". 

It is so STUPID that it's funny & for that reason I'm obsessed with it. I laugh every time it comes on. 

{and I also sing/rap along with them}

: )

Happy 4th of July!

Real Housewives of Orange County

I'm such a reality TV junkie, it's embarrassing. I'm so obsessed with the Real Housewives franchise. How could you NOT be? 

Last season's RHOC was a snooze fest. This season is different. I love the new girl, Heather Dubrow. She's probably the only one with any class. The clip below cracks. me. up.

Allow me to set it up for you ...

Heather {the only brunette}is having a "name changing party" at her palatial mansion. Sarah {a brunette, who is not part of the show} shows up, uninvited & well...I'll let you see the rest. 

RHOC VIDEO

Do y'all think this is as funny as I do?!

Blog Face Lift

I thought it was time to give my blog a little face lift. I'm totally obsessed with this chevron print! What do you think?!
